ColocationFlächen
ColocationFlächen, often translated as colocation space, refers to physical areas within a data center facility that are leased to external companies. These companies then install and operate their own IT infrastructure, such as servers, storage, and networking equipment, within this dedicated space. Colocation providers manage the building, power, cooling, and physical security of the data center, while the client is responsible for their own hardware and data. This model allows businesses to outsource the operational burden of maintaining a data center while retaining control over their IT assets. It is a common solution for organizations seeking to expand their IT capacity, improve network connectivity, or enhance disaster recovery capabilities without the significant capital investment required to build and manage their own data center. The leased space can vary in size, from a single rack to a private cage or even a dedicated suite, depending on the client's needs. ColocationFlächen offer a flexible and cost-effective way for businesses to house their critical IT infrastructure.
